Farewell To Nancy - Shannon Singers

In comes the train and

The whole platform shakes

It stops with a shutter

And a screaming of brakes

The parting has come

And my weary soul aches

I'm leaving my Nancy O'

Is stand there so

Calmly determindly gay

And you talk of yhr weather

And events of the day

But your eyes tell me

All that your tongue doesn't say

Goodbye my Nancy O'

And come a little closer

Put your head upon my shoulder

And let me hold you one more time

Before the whistle blows

My suitcase is lifted

And stowed on the train

And a thousand regrets

Whirl around in my brain

The ache in my heart

Is a black sea of pain

I'm leaving my Nancy O'

You stand there so

Calmly so lovely to see

But the grip of your hand

Is an unspoken plea

Your not fooling yourself

And your not fooling me

Good-by my Nancy O'

And come a little closer

Put your head upon my shoulder

And let me hold you one more time

Before the whistle blows

For our time has run out

And the whistle has blown

Here I must leave

You standing alone

We have so little time

Now the time's gone

I'm leaving my Nancy O'

And as the train starts

Gently to roll

And as I lean out to

Wave and to call

I see your first tears

Trickle and fall

Good-bye my Nancy O'

And come a little closer

Put your head upon my shoulder

And let me hold you one more time

Before the whistle blows
